This AP works great. Great range and speed. It didn't come with an Admin/Install guide (which would have been nice) but you can download the pdf from D-Link's website. It comes out of the box with a 192.168.0.50 IP address so keep that in mind as you are setting it up for the first time. Beware, if/when you change the admin console password, it doesn't seem to like passwords over 10 chars. Make sure to update the firmware to the latest to get rid of a few of the old bugs.

Unlike the people here I have found this very difficult to setup for my business. My plan was to set this up with a static public IP and use it's DHCP feature to create a private (192.168.1.x) subnet for wireless, so laptops can join our network quickly and easily. Unfortunately this AP doesn't appear to let you create a private subnet for some reason, I think it assumes you want to 'pass-through' public IPs to everyone...but how do you configure this if your network uses static IPs and you want to use the DHCP feature in the Dlink? The manual doesn't even try to explain, and their tech support people had no idea what I was talking about. So this seems like a great product, but I'm puzzled the most basic of network features is not included or explained.
